look at the 2012 election. i gave the example of google. this is important with the democrats, the republicans are in complete and utter disarray, the democrat party is becoming more powerful, and they thought they could count on silicon valley. $2.7 million went to barack obama, $550,000 went to romney. 83% of the money went to barack obama. mark zuckerberg coming out for the republican party seems to be a significant event, a tipping point. >> and it's not just money. the bay area, silicon valley hosts to all these great tech companies. obama won that area by 49 points in 2012. chris christie making inroads in that community is huge. there is a lot of cash there, but there's also a tech talent gap that republicans have suffered from. the campaigns, when they're staffing up, they don't have access, all the time, to a lot of the most talented tech people, because they're all so liberal. but if chris christie can use his relationship with mark zuckerberg to ingratiate himself, that could help. >> he needs the obama apps. joe, you work for bi

"time" magazine/orc poll shows that 56% support a ban on semiautomatic weapons. that is down from 62% in december. if a poll was taken right now, what do you think -- what do you think that would be? >> oh, you know, i would be very interested to see it because of how you shape it. it's fascinating. we did a thing from our radio show, talking to people and showing pictures. they said, yeah, ban that gun. it was a shotgun, it just had a pistol grip. people didn't understand. the problem with the assault weapons ban has always been it's a spooky looking gun ban. some -- for example, the ar-15 -- >> they wer
